Lucas Lights will decorate the exterior of customers’ homes in the Christmas spirit with elaborate light displays in the Fox Valley. Owner Lucas Pulvermacher started the business last year as an extension of his other business, Lucas Lawns.

This year Pulvermacher wants to expand to 30 homes. Lucas Lights will line roofs and wrap trees in lights. Customers can customize their own lighting displays.

“We’re an all-inclusive service,” Pulvermacher said.

The two-man company will provide estimates and ideas on how to design people’s homes; install and take down the lights; and store them for customers, Pulvermacher said. Lucas Lights will also come fix any broken lights or other problems that could arise during the season, he said.

Lucas Lights is one of a handful of businesses in Wisconsin certified by Christmas Lights Installation Pros Association to install the displays. Understandably, the company does nearly all its business October through January.

“We did our own house and it looked really nice, and we decided that other people might want this service. People don’t want to climb up ladders and put up lights in the freezing cold,” Pulvermacher said.

Pricing depends will depend the difficulty of each house. This could depend on whether the house is two stories or the pitch of the roof, Pulvermacher said. Lucas Lights also charges by the foot of lighting since it uses high-quality LED lighting, he said.

It’s a straightforward business but that’s “part of the beauty of it,” Pulvermacher said.
